Above: Mikhail and Pauline Dredger representing the Solar Tsunamis project at European Space Weather Week.
In October and November, Mikhail travelled to Germany and Sweden to meet with collaborators and attend European Space Weather Week (ESWW) in Umeå.
GFZ in Potsdam, Germany from Oct 20 to 23
At GFZ in Potsdam, Mikhail delivered a seminar talk “Global electromagnetic modelling with ultra-high resolution based on the integral equation approach”. The main focus of the talk was when such simulations are necessary and how to perform them on a laptop instead of supercomputer.

ESWW 2025 in Umeå, Sweden Oct 27 to 31
Mikhail delivered a talk “Solar Tsunamis: State-of-the-art Simulations of Geomagnetically Induced Currents in New Zealand Power Grids” by Mikhail Kruglyakov, Craig J. Rodger, Daniel H. Mac Manus, John Malone-Leigh, Kristin Pratscher, Malcolm Ingham, Wiebke Heise, Tanja Peterson, Michael Dalzell, and James B. Brundell. In other words: “5 years of the Solar Tsunamis project in 12 minutes”.
He also participated in “End User Lunch – Space Weather & Power Grid Operations”, and had a lot of productive discussions with colleagues from Finland and Sweden.
Visit to Luleå University of Technology, Luleå, Sweden Nov 03 to 06
In Luleå, Mikhail delivered a seminar talk “Large-scale magetotelluric inversion of multiple datasets of different origin. Challenges, techniques, and examples.” by Mikhail Kruglyakov, Wiebke Heise, and Ted Bertrand.
